Why Are Eye Exams Important?

We all know that having an eye exam can help determine if you need prescription lenses, but did you know that eye exams can also help uncover eye conditions and diseases you might not be aware of?

To help protect your eyes, we recommend a comprehensive eye exam at least once every 2 years for patients between the ages of 18 and 40. We also recommend annual eye exams if you’re over 64 or have a higher risk of developing an age-related eye problem or eye disease.

What You Can Expect From an Eye Exam

No pair of eyes are ever the same, so we personalize our approach to fit the needs of each patient.

On top of our standard exam techniques, we can also perform additional tests to better understand your eye health and how we can support it. From our findings, our team can craft a personal strategy to help preserve your sight throughout your life.

Please bring any relevant and current health information when you come in for your eye exam. Some health conditions, like diabetes, may also affect your eye health over time, and we can orient your exam to address these concerns.

Technologies We Use

The technologies we may use can vary depending on your health and vision. The below links provide additional information on various technologies we use and how they help us observe your eye health:

Treatments & Strategies We May Offer

Advanced Family Eye Care is committed to providing comprehensive strategies for a range of different eye diseases and conditions. Learn more about our approach through the links below:

Common Age-Related Eye Conditions

Presbyopia

Presbyopia is a common eye condition you may have a risk of developing after you turn 40.

The lens inside your eye becomes more rigid as you age, making it more difficult to focus on up-close objects. Multifocal eyeglasses or contact lenses can help correct this issue, but your prescription may progress as you age.

Sometimes, we may recommend laser eye surgery to help address presbyopia.

Cataracts

Cataracts are common lens-affecting issues that may impair your vision over time. Without treatment, they may lead to blindness.

Cataracts develop when proteins in your eye’s lens start to break down as you age, causing your lens to develop a hazy, milky, or cloudy appearance, affecting your vision quality.

We can prescribe corrective lenses to help address early cataract-related vision problems, but the only way to restore your vision quality is through cataract surgery.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that typically develops in adults 55 and older.

The disease, which has 2 different versions, wet and dry, affects a part of your retina called the macula, which provides the central vision you use to see fine details, read, and recognize faces.

Please visit our Eye Disease Diagnosis & Management page to learn more about AMDand how we can help manage it.

There’s no question that your eye health and vision can change as you age, but addressing potential issues early could help preserve your sight throughout your life.

And while age can increase the risk of a number of eye diseases and conditions, a few are more common than others. These include presbyopia, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration.
